A Memorial Reading For Mahmoud Darwish
Mahmoud Darwish [1942-2008]
Sun. Oct. 5 at 6:00 PM
1719 25th Street
Mahmoud Darwish was the one of the pre-eminent Arab poets and was recognized and revered by cab drivers and college professors from Cairo to Damascus. Readings anywhere in the Arab world would find thousands in attendance. Upon Darwish's death last month, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of Palestine, declared three days of mourning and he was granted a state funeral in the West Bank, the first since Yasir Arafat's in 2004-only more attended Darwish's funeral. Much of Darwish's work has the theme of Palestinian exile at its heart. Early in his life, he and his family were forced to flee to Lebanon to escape the Israeli Army as it occupied Palestine. Upon returning to his homeland, he was given the status of "present-absent alien," which plagued his sense of identity and his relationship to his homeland. He was the winner of countless international awards, and his work has been translated into more than twenty languages, more than any other contemporary Arab poet.
Please help us commemorate the life and work of Mahmoud Darwish by bringing a piece or two of his (or any other suitably appropriate work) to read for the reading, which is being organized in coordination with Ulrich Schreiber of Berlin and Sam Hamill (Director of Poets-Against-War) as part of an international effort to pay tribute to the spirit of Darwish on October 5, 2008. Some food and refreshments will be served and you are welcome to bring other consumables, as well.
